Making our way to the jars...

D:\program files\Eclipse\workspace\FolderMonitor>java -cp D:\activation.jar;D:\m
ail.jar;D:\log4j-1.2.8.jar -jar folder*

Am I doing something wrong with the above command?
The 3 jars are in D:\ (of course) but I get NoClassDefFoundError:
javax/mail/Address

I started off with them all in the same folder as the jar I'm trying to
run. That also gave NoClassDefFoundError

When I move the jars to jre\lib\ext, things work fine.

I came across Invoker on Dawid Weiss's website and I do this:

java -jar Invoker.jar -cpalljars .\ -cpdir .\ <fully qualified classname>

Things work fine.

Why would both using the absolute path to the jars and placing them
in the current working directory still cause NoClassDefFoundError?

You can also attach the JARs directly to the project's classpath, but for a generally useful library like Axis you are right to pursue the library approach. ...
